Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen Defect Complexes Proposed as the Origin of Telecom Emitters in Silicon 

ICYS Research Fellow Dr. Peter UDVARHELYI

【Key Points of This Research】

This study provides a coherent computational framework for interpreting the N-series photoluminescence lines in silicon. It identifies the compact carbon-nitrogen interstitial pair defect as a strong candidate for the N1 emitter. Related complexes involving interstitial silicon and oxygen reproduce key experimental trends for the higher-energy lines.
